“We [Nigerian celebrities] friend each others and we are family. I see my male colleagues as brothers.”

The singer rejected the idea of petty trading as a solution to the country’s economic hardships.

He wrote, “I go rather join bandit than to sell kulikuli and Akara. And my target will be politicians. At least if am being caught they will habitat me. So is worth the risk.”

Meanwhile, Nigerian female disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, professionally known as DJ Switch, has slammed the First Lady, Remi Tinubu, after she encouraged Nigerians to consider small-scale ventures such as selling akara, roasted corn, and kuli-kuli.

Speaking on the activities of the Renewed Hope Initiative, the First Lady said the programme had been providing grants, rather than loans, to vulnerable Nigerians to help them start businesses and improve their livelihoods.

She said, “We’re trying to give hope, and to start the Akara business doesn’t take a lot of money. To start roasting corn, or somebody even said kuli kuli doesn’t take much. We didn’t give them a loan; we gave it to them as a grant.

“So we’ve encouraged Nigerians as best as we could. What is within our hands, I have given, and I keep giving.”

The comments have since sparked outrage online, and DJ Switch has also condemned the remarks.

In a post on her Instagram, DJ Switch said that while other nations are creating spaces and infrastructure to develop their people for this rapidly evolving world, Remi Tinubu is encouraging the sale of kuli-kuli.

She wrote, “With absolute no due respect Remi! Thunder fire you! While other nations are creating spaces and infrastructure to develop their people for this rapidly developing world, you want us to sell kuli-kuli? And the otondo’s behind you are nodding their greedy necks! I can’t express how much I despise you, people.” 

He said he believes it is never too late to continue his studies.

Peller explained that he had previously gained admission into a university and paid more than ₦2 million in school fees.

However, he said he later stopped attending after the institution failed to fulfil what it had promised before he enrolled.

He claimed the school assured him that he would be allowed to continue his online streaming activities while attending lectures.

According to him, that arrangement was later withdrawn, making it difficult for him to combine his education with his content creation career.

The TikTok star also alleged that the amount he paid was higher than what many other students at the institution paid for their studies.

He said: “My woman is a graduate, and my future child will also be a graduate. We are all going to be graduates. Time is not late for me to go back to school.

“The university I wanted to attend deceived me. They deceived me that I would be streaming my classes, but they didn’t allow me stream, so I stopped going. I paid over ₦2 million. Even students attending that school today have never paid that amount, but I did.”
